Thank you all for your contribution. Yesterday I made yet another attempt at making pitas. I lived in Israel for 6 years and I would only be happy if anything came close to the pitas there. I made pitas before but they always had couple of issues. did not open. Opened but one side will be thick and other very thing. After reading this discussion I carefully followed some of them and miracle. almost perfect pitas. I was very satisfied with the result, both the look and the taste. Here is a suggestion. Try zaatar. It is middle eastern mix of spices. When you are making your next batch leave on or two to experiment. you roll and flatten the pita just like usual, but before you put it in you rub on it a little olive oil and then cover it with the zaatar. Put it in for the same amount of time. It will not rice, just bubble. It is so delicious. If anyone is curious what were my steps and recipe please let me know i will be more than happy to share. Cheers Vadim, we actually used to sell za'atar here at The Baker's Catalogue, so I'm familiar with it. Great idea with the pita, thanks - PJH
